ASA is a two-phase thermoplastic material combining styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer and acrylic rubber. It has excellent weather resistance, so it is the best choice for outdoor applications.
Application: ASA is used in outdoor applications that require long term color stability. Exterior siding, automotive side mirror housings, signage and marine applications are common uses for ASA.
